Now, as for my favorite bird ... that's a really tough call. Like many people, I tend to take what I have for granted and wish for what I don't have. So many of the birds here in New Mexico are drab colored; but that helps them fit in with the desert landscape. That said, my favorite bird would be one of the brightly colored tropical variety ... parrots, macaws, tucans, etc.

I'm also quite fond of the Inca Tern (pictured here). I just love it's handle bar mustache.
